It was a sort of half rolling, half pitching, very unlike the even, smooth slide of the early part of the afternoon. The rock soon became plainer, and at last I rested on my oars to watch the waves as they broke on its furrowed face. The great rollers, which became higher as the water shoaled toward its foot, fell upon it bursting into foam, and jetting the spray high above the half-broken beacon.
For nothing can be plainer so it seems to me than that, taking mankind by families, or what is still better, by larger portions, they are most free from pain and disease, as well as most healthy and happy, who pay the most attention to the laws of human health, that is, those laws or rules by whose observance alone, that health can be certainly and permanently secured.
Rose looked up angrily into the laughing dark eyes. "I don't know what you mean." "My dear little artless Rose! Shall I put it plainer? When are you to be Lady Ellerton?" "Mr. Stanford " "My dear Rose, don't be cross. He is too old and too ugly low be it spoken for the prettiest girl in Canada!" "Meaning me?" "Meaning you." "Why don't you except Kate?"
That's the theory, you see; but we're new inventors, and so there's some flaw in the device. It will take a skilled mind like yours to see where the fault lies." Jack explained volubly, while David Pollard looked over the model that the trio of young geniuses had put together. Then Benson drew from an inner pocket, and spread out, some carefully made mechanical drawings that made his idea plainer.
In this case, it is impossible for the human mind to attach praise or blame to them, or view them as constituting either virtue or vice.

What was there so particularly significant in the sound of these footsteps? They were heavy, regular, and rather slow than hurried. He has now reached the first floor, he still continues to ascend. The sound is becoming plainer and plainer. He pants as though with asthma at each step he takes. He has commenced the third flight. He will soon be on the fourth!
"Oh, excuse me," murmured Cora. "Miss Osborne, let me present to you Mr. Edward Foster just plain Ed, mostly." "The plainer the better," observed the newcomer, as he bowed to Marita. "But what's it all about, Jack? No, there's no use asking him," he murmured as he noted Cora's brother resuming his interrupted conversation with the little girl. "Will someone please enlighten me?"

Cecil, however, looked about suspiciously. "Don't you notice," he whispered, "that we can hear the wind much plainer here than in the passage? I believe I can feel a current of fresh air, too.
